2020 NBA Playoff Prediction Pool

[Doom]

​

Hello everyone. Since the 2020 NBA playoffs are upon us, I'd figure that we should do a NBA playoff prediction contest. Some of us from WC (WrestlingClique) know the man who ran these for years and that was TCON. Unfortunately, he passed away last year. He ran the prediction contest for all four major American sports and he was awesome for running those contests. He will be missed and I want to help carry his legacy of these contests. RIP TCON.

The NBA playoff's not yet set until the first round is revealed Friday. The winner of this contest will receive a playoff prediction banner, made by me, to congratulate the winner of this contest.

The celtics will win

 

[Apoho Creed]

I'm in this for sure. I could do the NHL one if theirs enough interest for that as well.

I'm going to try my damnest to win this for TCON.

 

[Doom]

I'm in this for sure. I could do the NHL one if theirs enough interest for that as well.

I think it's too late since the NHL playoffs has already started.

 

[Chris]

Spurs gonna make the play-in and then I'm gonna pick them to win the west

 

[Apoho Creed]

Yeah I think it can be still be done maybe 2nd Round unless I were to get sign ups really fast. I had plans too with you making a Prediction of the Player who scores the Most Goals etc as Bonus points.

Think it'd even be hard to do 2nd round bc by the time match-ups are finalized you might not have much time for predictions before the second round starts. I'll join though, it's just fun casual shit so I don't really care as long as you can make it work.

Guys, since there's already three entries I'm thinking about extending the deadline a little for tomorrow to 12:00 PM ET, so we can have as much people before the first playoff game between Jazz vs. Nuggets at 1:30 PM ET.
